SUMMARY:Early galaxy formation processes: clues from Near-Field Cosmology

CONTACT:Greg Willatt
DESCRIPTION:The formation of the first stars brought the infant Universe o
 ut of the dark ages and changed its chemical composition by producing the 
 first heavy elements.  Metals\, dust and photons strongly affected the coo
 ling properties of the gas and thus the subsequent generations of stars an
 d galaxies.  In the Local Group\, stars can be individually resolved\, pro
 viding us with the unique opportunity to indirectly study the interstellar
  medium of high-redshift galaxies up to the era of reionization.\n\nIn thi
 s talk\, I will review the most recent findings for Local Group galaxies f
 rom both a theoretical and an observational perspective.  The implications
  for the properties of the first stars and galaxies will be discussed\, an
 d new ideas to connect Near- and Far-Field cosmology presented.\n
